Newsflash: Hard Reset – Machinery & Humanity – Born in 2015!

Hard Reset‘s 2015 and first full length album Machinery & Humanity will be released on CD in Europe this February by Sliptrick Records. The band hits you with some sort of a subdued, but very refined style of their own brand of rock of the Progressive and Alternative kind. And some of that with a distinctly grungy flavor. The inclusion of Prog elements is sometimes surprising, but at a much less flashy level than their partners in crime of this very particular universe. Their music has got soul however, well thought through and refined, whereas the lyrics for sure would need some quality overhaul sometimes.

The band of three formed back in 2011 and finally established themselves in the beautiful city of Firenze. 2012 followed a first EP, which got crowned in 2015 by their first full length album, recorded at MathLab Studios just outside of Florence. Their refreshing and varied rock style will – whilst still in need for refinement – catch you off-guard and make you listen.

Machinery & Humanity is well worth your time, even if this is not #metal nor tough-as-nails Hard Rock. Far from it. I daresay however that they will need to inject some oomph in future, if they want to progress further down that tough, unforgiving rocky road.
